An accelerated program is available for outstanding students wanting to earn both a B.S. and an M.S. degree. Both thesis and non−thesis
M.S. degree programs are available in this accelerated program. Students interested in these programs should inform their academic advisor during
the first semester of the junior year and apply when they are within 30 hours of completing their undergraduate degree. If accepted, they will
begin taking graduate courses during their senior year, and up to 9 hours of the coursework will apply to both their undergraduate and graduate
degree requirements.
